Bungie reveals Halo: Reach's Armory

Helmets! Knee pads! And everything else you're going to lust after the day you start Halo: Reach

Bungie's weekly updatehas revealed theHalo: Reach Armory, which is where players can customize their (you guessed it) armor. Unlike Halo 3, which used 'Skill,' new equipmentin Halo: Reach willbe purchased through 'Credits.' The following image contains "every item that is visible to players in the Armory on Day 1."

"As you Rank up in Reach %26ndash; via Credit earn, not via Skill a la Halo 3 %26ndash; there will be more customization options made available to you. Many of these aren%26rsquo;t even visible initially, but you%26rsquo;ll be able to see them as you progress," Luke Smith explains. "Last Spring%26rsquo;s Halo: Reach Beta had the prices of helmets increase as you acquired more variants. In many cases, in the shipping game, the reverse is true %26ndash; the initial Credit investment is in the base helmet, and adding augmentations to it is cheaper than the actual base variant was."
